Civil War Treasury Secy Hugh McCulloch ALS
<B>Civil War Secretary of the Treasury Hugh McCulloch Autograph letter Signed,</B></I> “<I>H McCulloch</B></I>”, two pages on Treasury Department letterhead, 7.75” x 10”, Washington, D.C., July 31, 1865, to Samuel Fessenden, Portland, Maine and docketed by the recipient. This letter, headed “<I>Private</B></I>”, is written to the preceding Secretary of the Treasury and candidly discusses Senator John Conness of California. McCulloch writes in part: “<I>…I am apprehensive that too much power has been given to Mr. Conness…My present impression is that he is a dirty dog.</B></I>” Smoothed folds, very fine condition. Despite McCulloch's disdain, Conness had been a favorite of Abraham Lincoln's and, indeed, was a pallbearer for the slain president.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
